About this Item
Merlot, 2005
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Meerlust Estate, owned by the Myburgh family, has been in the family for eight generations. Located 5km from False Bay, the property was given the name 'Meerlust' from the original owner, which means 'pleasure of the sea'. The Meerlust name is synonymous with tradition, elegance and longevity. In fact, it was their Cabernet Sauvignon, produced since 1975, that was the first to carry the Meerlust label.
Critics Ratings
'After lithe, elegant 04, fine 05 has plush plum, mulberry notes heralding unshowy yet finely tuned textures - finesse, not flamboyance, dominates. Light spice from 11% cab franc; integrated 60% new oak, 14% alc.'- Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4.5*
